Born on this day in 1954, Nancy Lamoureaux Wilson, the American musician, singer, songwriter, producer, and composer, who rose to fame alongside her older sister, Ann, as a guitarist and backing vocalist in Heart, becomes the newest member of rock's Septuagenarian Club. Nancy Wilson has been lauded for her guitar playing, noted for its blending elements of flamenco and classical with hard rock.
In Nancy's honor, watch her talking about "borrowing" the "Barracuda" riff from a legendary band and how she was inspired to start playing after hearing The Beatles. (above)
